Blades: Powerslide Reden
This blade has been developed, designed and made in Holland. Best raw materials and unique manufacturing processes lead to a high performance ice frame that will conquer the long track ice world.
The blade is designed with aircraft engineering methods. Stress and stiffness simulations and a year of testing proof the quality.
The tube and the bridge are complex shaped solid parts, CNC-machined out of aircraft grade aluminum. The bearing house is integrated with the tube. The special quality plastic wedge is unbreakable connected to the tube with two pins. No shock of the clap thanks to a large diameter elastomeric damper.
The blade is manufactured in Europe out of the best available full-PM tool steel, hardened to HRc 66, and connected to the tube with aircraft grade epoxy glue.
The bearings are stainless steel industrial ball bearings. The steel for all parts except for the blade is high strength stainless steel.
All skates are supplied ready to use; this means bent and rockered (standard curve is 23 meters) If you would like a different radius, then please indicate this when completing your order.
